Product details
Overview
MAX6385XS38D7-T from Maxim Integrated is a push-pull active-high microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-set 3.80V reset threshold, 1200ms VCC reset timeout, and debounced manual reset input (MR). It monitors +1.8V to +5.0V supply rails, consumes only 3μA at +1.8V, and guarantees valid reset output down to VCC = 1V. Used in portable battery-powered equipment for reliable power-on reset and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6385XS38D7-T datasheet, MAX6385XS38D7-T pinout, MAX6385XS38D7-T application, or MAX6385XS38D7-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.80V ±2.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, 4-pin SC70 package footprint, MR input with internal 63kΩ pullup, and immunity to negative-going VCC transients up to 150µs at 100mV overdrive.
Technical Context
The MAX6385XS38D7-T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator monitoring VCC against a fixed 3.80V threshold, with ±2.5% accuracy across –40°C to +125°C and 60ppm/°C tempco. Its internal timer asserts the active-high RESET output for exactly 1200ms (min) after VCC rises above threshold or after MR release.
It features a dedicated MR input with 1µs minimum pulse width support, 100ns glitch rejection, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V - enabling robust reset control in low-voltage embedded systems where supply sequencing and transient immunity are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.80V nominal, ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures consistent brownout detection across automotive and industrial temperature ranges. |
| VCC Reset Timeout | 1200ms minimum - provides sufficient hold time for slow-ramping microcontrollers during power-up. |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on IoT sensors and wearables. |
| Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup resistor and supports direct connection to μP RESET pin. |
| Manual Reset Input | MR with 63kΩ internal pullup - allows momentary switch interface without external components; 200ns MR-to-RESET delay ensures fast response. |
| Operating Voltage Range | +1.0V to +5.5V - supports valid reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions down to 1V. |
| Reset Output Validity | Guaranteed down to VCC = 1V - prevents spurious release of reset during undervoltage recovery. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6385XS38D7-T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm. This compact footprint supports high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Main supply input and monitored voltage rail - must be decoupled with 0.1μF capacitor near pin for transient immunity. |
| 2 | RESET | Active-high push-pull output - drives μP RESET pin directly; sinks 1.2mA at VCC ≥ 2.5V with VOL ≤ 0.3V. |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internal 63kΩ pullup to VCC; logic low forces reset for full timeout period. |
| 4 | GND | Power ground reference - requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-set 3.80V threshold | Eliminates external resistor divider; reduces BOM count and layout area in single-rail systems. |
| 1200ms VCC reset timeout | Meets JEDEC JESD78 reliability requirements for microcontroller initialization timing. |
| Debounced MR input | Rejects mechanical switch bounce and EMI-induced glitches without external RC network. |
| 3μA supply current at 1.8V | Enables integration into ultra-low-power wake-on-event architectures with sub-μA sleep current budgets. |
| –40°C to +125°C operation | Validated for under-hood automotive and industrial control applications without derating. |
Applications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Resets Infineon AURIX TC2xx MCU during cold-crank events where battery dips below 6V. Use Value: Negative-going transient immunity (150µs @ 100mV overdrive) prevents false resets during load-dump and jump-start conditions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6385XS38D4-T | Same 3.80V threshold and MR functionality, but 1120ms VCC reset timeout (vs. 1200ms). | Suitable where slightly shorter reset hold time is acceptable for faster system boot. | Select when design margin allows 80ms reduction in reset assertion duration. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V threshold (not 3.8V); 200ms timeout; no MR input; SOT-23-5 package. | Requires redesign for different threshold and lacks manual reset capability. | Only consider if system operates at 3.3V rail and MR is unnecessary; not drop-in compatible. |
Compared with MAX6385XS38D4-T, the MAX6385XS38D7-T provides longer reset hold time for slower peripherals; compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, it offers precise 3.8V monitoring, MR support, and SC70 footprint - making it optimal for 3.8V LDO-based systems requiring field-serviceable reset.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6385XS38D7-T?
The MAX6385XS38D7-T has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 3.80V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This value is confirmed in the Reset Thresholds table of the datasheet (suffix "38" corresponds to 3.71V min / 3.80V nom / 3.90V max), and applies specifically to the MAX6385XS38D7-T variant.
Does the MAX6385XS38D7-T support manual reset, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the MAX6385XS38D7-T includes a debounced manual reset input (MR) on Pin 3. It is active-low, features an internal 63kΩ pullup resistor to VCC, and requires a minimum 1µs low pulse to assert reset. The device holds RESET active for the full 1200ms timeout after MR is released, eliminating need for external debounce circuitry.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX6385XS38D7-T use?
The MAX6385XS38D7-T uses a 4-pin SC70 package (outline number 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm. It is RoHS-compliant ("+T" suffix), rated for –40°C to +125°C operation, and designed for reflow soldering at +260°C peak temperature.
How does the MAX6385XS38D7-T behave during VCC brownout conditions?
When VCC falls below 3.80V, the MAX6385XS38D7-T asserts its active-high RESET output within 35µs. RESET remains asserted for a minimum of 1200ms after VCC rises above the threshold. The device guarantees correct RESET logic state down to VCC = 1V, ensuring deterministic behavior during deep undervoltage recovery.
Is the MAX6385XS38D7-T pin-compatible with older Maxim reset ICs like MAX809?
Yes, the MAX6385XS38D7-T is explicitly listed as pin-compatible with MAX809/MAX810/MAX803 and other legacy supervisors in the Features section of the datasheet. However, note that MAX6385XS38D7-T uses a 4-pin SC70 package while MAX809 uses 3-pin SOT-23 - so board layout adaptation is required despite functional and signal-pin equivalence.
